As in, the French pancake.
Is it:
1. “creep”
2. “crape”
3. “crap”
What say you?
(p.s. I have never ever been able to pronounce this word properly.)

I used to pronounce it as No.2 until someone told me it’s No.1.
But I think the proper pronunciation requires the use of those phonic symbols…
as long as the person who’s making it knows what it is u’re ordering..
and hmm..this got anything to do wif our dinner at shokudo? hahaa
B: Would it surprise you that it might actually be No. 3? Cos I did a bit of Googling and some people say it’s pronounced as No. 3…really confusing!
Shir: No lah, as Engrish speakers we must always pronounce our words properly. (Oh, actually “crepe” is a French word I think, haha!) Yeah, it has a great deal to do with dinner at Shokudo!
Nooooooo way! Really? ;D
“can i have “crap” please…”

Yep, I get what you’re saying.
So how? At the end of the day…how do you pronounce “crepe”? You still haven’t mentioned!
In French it’s pronounced “krep” (rhymes with “prep” as in “prep school”)
In English, for whatever reason, we don’t pronounce it the french way; we pronounce it “krape” (rhymes with “grape”)
I believe it’s “none of the above.” should be pronounced “krep”
